Hi all,
I am new to posting on this forum although i have been reading many posts by various people and have managed to get loads of info for my project until now. Does anybody know the torque settings for the head bolts and the flywheel nut. I have recently purchased a 1961 3hp seahorse for ?37 i think thats roughly 60-70 dollars and it was seized and by using this forum i have managed to have it stripped in no time at all thanks to you guys......just one more question you all seem to go on about a carb rebuild kits i would like to know whats in them as i cant buy a whole kit over here but i can buy the parts individualy.....well thats something to get started with i suppose and thanks for the help in advance!

Flywheel nut is 30-40 ft/lbs
head bolts are 60-80 in/lbs

I don't have a clue what that is in metric stones.
